As men have become subjugated to a female-centered social order, they have adopted female speech patterns and diction, with one example being the replacement of "I think" with "I feel." This is true even in academic discourse or discussion, though with the increasing number of women displacing men, I should say "especially true." This underscores the old stereotype of women being emotional, but it needs to be explicated through modern psychology -- RT talks about female behavior, Instinct-Emotion-Reason.
With respect to speculative matters, judgement of particulars is perhaps not so influenced by emotion, but there could be associations that nonetheless have an effect on judgment. But with respect to practical matters? Emotion can easily prevent right judgment from being developed. Perceiving or judging whether someone is a good or evil? Easily affected by emotion, and if one by nature perceives the world through emotion first, then it is necessary to have some sort of external check on this.
Similarly, with respect to general statements, a woman can take a negative general statement (such as generalizations about female [behavioral] psychology) and think that it applies to her as well, or that it is an implicit criticism of her. (NAWALT) And there is also the phenomenon of female outrage, which may be driven by a separate need but is nonetheless linked to this. Third, there is the need to protect one's self-image from anything that might affect it. We hear about low self-esteem among women, but is that really due to social pressure? Or is it linked to a desire for some good, and perceiving defects in herself that would impede her from attaining that good?
Does emotion contribute to practical reason? Of course it does. But is it the sole determinant? No. Perception of moral reality is dependent upon virtue to govern the emotions. But male virtue is different from female virtue because male psychology is different from female psychology. Hence the talk of developing a female-centered ethics by women is pointless, because most women need an external check on their emotion and to order it properly.

Why is this Seder different from all other Seders? by Ira Glunts (also posted at Dissident Voice)
How old are these texts for the Seder meal to which the author refers in his article? And what sort of Pharisee is he, orthodox, conservative, or reform?

Culturally Conditioned Responses?
Living up (or down) to expectations? Or are the girls exaggerating their reactions for the sake of the show? (Or under direction from those in charge?)
But, probably their reaction isn't too excessive, i.e. they are bringing shame upon themselves by acting like this, or their behavior wouldn't be frowned upon or socially disapproved. So even if the women are acting in an exaggerated manner, this is expected or they are being held to a set of standards for women. (Would standards of decorum have been different for the wives of samurai? Perhaps.)
Would such a display of fear be tolerated from men? And yet in various prank ghost videos involving Japanese men, many of those men are seen to be cowering in fear. The consequences of not being enlightened by Christ?
I've read the claim made that women have "traditionally" prefer men who are connected to their aesthetic and emotional sides, along with the claim that in Asian to be successful (in dating) one must tone down one's masculinity. I find this doubtful -- men in East Asia are generally not interested in physical dominance, nor are they raised to value it. And women, who tend to be arrested in adolescence in their adulation of soft-looking male idols may not be interested in the hard, alpha male for reasons other than a lack of physical attractiveness. They may be prioritizing someone who is financially stable and secure and yet seemingly polite (or "cultured" according to East Asian standards), not someone who is rough. And one should also ask whether these women are sexually attracted to those men, or if they are with them to get the ring, later withholding sex after they've had a child or two.

The Mark of Cain
Thoughts on the Protected Race by Andrew Joyce
I was reminded of how much protection was supposed to be given to Pharisees during the Middle Ages, thanks to the popes, while listening to an interview of EMJ. I was also thinking of Cain in relation to capital punishment -- if Cain actually did spread his moral disorder elsewhere, then why wasn't he killed, or why didn't God allow him to be killed by others? He was kept alive for a reason, than what is that reason? To witness to what?
If the Pharisees are Cain, then who then is Abel? Christ Himself? Or those who become the image of Christ?

High-Trust Societies
A misnomer or an erroneous description? Which came first, that sort of naive trust in others, or the dependability and accountability upon which trust depends? It seems to me that high-trust societies, if they can be called that, are so because of the social capital accumulated. It originally was not naive trust (though that may be the form it has now, since whites hardly know one another but presume that the other conforms to the standards of white culture), but trust that had been tested and earned.
(So is it the rise of the nuclear family and the replacement of kinship ties with broader ones that is to explain for the creation of high-trust societies?)

If it is true... another Abrams MYSTERY BOX!
If it is true, the franchise has turned to an even bigger joke.

NCReg: How the Boy Scouts are Teaching Girls about True Womanhood by Jennifer Fitz
BSA’s troops for girls are proving, ironically, to be a bulwark against the muddy seas of gender confusion.

High School Status Plays
Is it true that for adolescents, given their immaturity and the casual familiarity between the sexes, that the pretty people are automatically the popular people, with the unattractive seeking to be associated with them on this basis? It makes sense that jocks, who are physically attractive males, would be at the social apex -- who, then, are the women who occupy the top social stratum of high school? Those who are physically attractive have in the past become cheerleaders and the like. Or is it those females who associate with the "alpha" males of high school but are not necessarily the most attractive? What about now? It seems to me that in the past at least there were two different groups, one for males and one for females, though members of both would interact with one another. And they would use their perceived popularity (or fame) to do things like run for student body office or run a club, so that they could use their status to help them on their college applications. At least that seems to be true for the better high schools in the Bay Area, where most are college-bound. But some are not interested in the academic rat race and enjoy being part of that social circle for the status and also for the access to parties and like-minded people.
Given the ethnic heterogeneity of many of the high schools in the Bay Area, who are the females who now occupy this place? And do they only think they occupy this place, or is their status acknowledged even by members of other ethnic groups?
